Five S.Koreans injured in London attack

Five South Koreans were injured near the British parliament on in what UK police called a "marauding terrorist attack," South Korea's foreign ministry said in Seoul.

The five were injured in the chaos that ensued when the attacker ploughed into pedestrians on the Westminster Bridge, the foreign ministry said in a statement.

Three women and one man in their 50s and 60s suffered injuries including broken bones, the ministry said. Another woman in her 60s suffered a head injury while falling and was taken to a hospital for surgery.

There was no word on the seriousness of the injuries.

Five people were killed, including the assailant and the policeman he stabbed, and at least were 40 injured.
